Steve’s Sanitation is a family-owned local waste management company in Perham, MN.

We provide our services in Lakes Area, Minnesota between Lake Park, Osage, Bluffton, and Battle Lake. Whether you’re a Lakes Area resident or the person making a trash removal decision for your company, we’ve got you covered.

The original owners, Steve and Kay Melgard, were a couple on a mission to give the people of the Perham and surrounding DL area the best waste management service possible. The business was eventually passed down to Steve and Kay’s sons Kelly and Casey, but they’ve all simultaneously worked for Steve’s Sanitation.

Community-Focused

From the very beginning, we showed community support to the towns and people we served. That commitment continues to be just as strong today as it was back then in 1986. How? We spread our business to the business’s that support us. We support local community events. We always try to find the best and most cost effective way to help our customers, even if that means getting them in contact with someone else. We’re here for you—and your garbage.

Family-Owned & Operated

Our leadership was born into the business; Kelly and Casey Melgard are sons of Steve and Kay Melgard, who passed the business onto them in 2015 after running the company since 1986. They’ve continued their parents’ mission of providing the best residential and commercial sanitation services in the area.
